Endothelium dysfunction may result from increased production of reactive oxygen species and decreased availability of nitric oxide. Inhibitors of 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A (HMG-CoA) reductase (ie, statins) exert cholesterol-independent vasoprotective effects that are mediated, in part, through the inhibition of small G-proteins Rho and Rac. Rho negatively regulates endothelial nitri...

To investigate the mechanism of the anti-peptic action of ecabet sodium (TA-2711) observed in pylorous-ligated rats, effects of this drug on the peptic activity of rat gastric juice, purified hog pepsin and pepsinogen were studied in vitro. After incubation with or without ecabet at acidic pH, the reaction mixture was centrifuged, and the peptic activity of the supernatant was measured. Ecabet ...

In this report we discuss the role of interferon regulatory factor 1 (IRF-1) in the regulation of ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) transcription during IFN gamma human macrophage activation. We show that a binding sequence for the transcription factor IRF-1 is contained in the first intron of the human ODC gene (from nt +2711 to nt +2722) and we demonstrate that the level of expression of IRF-1 in...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effectiveness of daily supervised short course chemotherapy in a national tuberculosis programme. DESIGN Observation of programme during 1984-90. In October 1986 short course chemotherapy was introduced with patients receiving treatment daily from staff in their nearest health facility. SETTING Botswana national tuberculosis programme. SUBJECTS All patients with ...

The incidence and nature of exertion-related injuries were studied at a South African Defence Force basic training centre. A total of 404 separate injuries were sustained by 359 of 947 recruits during the 10-week basic training cycle. Of these injuries, 18,3% were sustained with (group 1) and 81,7% without (group 2) an obvious sudden precipitating event. Exertion-related injuries were responsib...

Signal processing theory and practice are enabling and driving forces behind multimedia devices, communications systems, and even such diverse fields as automotive and medical systems. Over 90% of the signal processing systems on the market used fixed-point arithmetic because of the cost, power, and area savings that fixed-point systems provide. However, most colleges and universities do not te...

Identifiability is important to guarantee convergence in system identification applications, and observability is important in applications such as control and diagnosis. In this paper, recent results on analysis of nonlinear differentialalgebraic equations are used to derive criteria for local identifiability and local weak observability for such models. The criteria are based on rank tests. E...

A new extracellular protease having a prospective application in the food industry was isolated from Bacillus sUbtilis NCIM 2711 by (NH4)2SO4 precipitation from the cell broth. It was purified using DEAE-Cellulose and CM-Sephadex C-50 ion-exchange chromatography. With casein as a substrate, the proteolytic activity of the purified protease was found to be optimal at pH 7.0 and temperature 55 de...
